Peer Tutoring and Gorgias: Acknowledging Aggression in the Writing Center.

Bokser, Julie A.

Writing Center Journal, v21 n2 p21-34 Spr-Sum 2001

Continues a discussion of critiquing peer tutoring groups by underscoring a typically unacknowledged component: the way in which an emphasis on "peerness" disguises the inherent aggression in tutoring relationships. Defines "peerness" as a complicated relation that involves power and aggression as well as equality. (SG)
